Carrick has now revealed that if boss Jose Mourinho tells him he is no longer needed at the club, he would consider calling it a day on his illustrious career.
“I don’t think there are many [other] places I’d want to play, if any – after this, anyway,” Carrick said.
“I probably would say, ‘Yes, that would be it.’ I’ve had such a time here that I don’t think I’d go elsewhere.”

“I understand I’m not going to play every game and I haven’t really got a problem with that, but I need to be playing enough.”
“There’s pride as well. Gary Neville springs to mind – he stopped halfway through the season. He said, ‘You know what? That’s it. I can’t do it now,’ which you’ve got to respect.”
